Experienced Defoliation User Question

JiminyCricketstarted grow question 6y ago

Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

Its spring coming into summer and humid in my area. Since my tent is in the garage, my conditions are controlled by outside conditions. Any home remedies for bringing down the humidity besides just buying a bigger humidifier?

The buds are growing and I have questions if I should defoliate in a so small plant. Should I? What else can I do to increase yields? Is it close to harvest time?

Alright - I need to know, is it time to harvest or close to? I have some photos in my diary that show some dark amber trichomes, a fair bit I'd say.

Trichomes are not turning amber yet. Lights 100% white/Red 50% Blue. These auto's are over 6' tall in spots with Cola's bigger than my fist. Never had a grow go this long so I'm worried I'm doing something wrong.

I have my light dimmed down but also lower to get a lux reading around 25000. According to the HLG conversion calculator it's putting me around 364ppfd. Is this acceptable or is my light placement/setting going to affect my plant negatively?
